What owners wrote

Crashed straight into the back end of a vehicle doing 60 while I was doing atleast 80, or 85, maybe more, I don't remember. The first thing I remember seeing is realizing I'm alright despite the blood in the cockpit and on my face despite sneezing which was spreading blood. Is this a vehicle defect or what? My math says that crashing at 85MPH into a vehicle doing 60 is like crashing into a brick wall at 25MPH.
